Next Step Advice


My listening is 50/50 movies/music, although, my first love is the music. I am seeking some advice on my current system (Rotel RB985 Mkii, Rotel RSP976, Wadia iTransport, Paradigm Studio 20v3, Paradigm Center CC470, Paradigm PDR10, Paradigm Atom v5 rear, Audioquest interconnects). I am not really getting the sound I would like and am ready to improve the musical quality of my system. I would like those of you who know about this kind of stuff to recommend best-bang-for-the-buck next purchase. By the way, I rip my CDs in .wav format for the best quality playback on the iTransport.

Saki70: I would like to improve the overall sound quality, a more full, richer, room filling sound. Room is size is approximately 15'X24'. I currently have all of the speakers set at "small". I really appreciate your replies.
By the way ... keeping in mind modest budget, how much should I be expecting to pay for a DAC?
Thank you very much for your responses. They have given me something to think about. Mainly, dumping my HT system and going with a 2 channel system. The DAC suggestion is something to consider in the meantime, the Cambridge DACMagic is fairly inexpensive and worth a try. Ultimately, I agree that trying to intergrate both HT and the musical quality I want is probably not worth pursuing in a HT system. Thanks again!
